Tori Amos is an American singer-songwriter, musician and producer hailing from Newton, North Carolina. A specialist in alternative, classical crossover, and ‘art rock’’, she’s a talented pianist as well as a powerful singer - she boasts a mezzo-soprano vocal range and certainly knows how to use it.

With more than 15 million albums sold and multiple Grammy nominations to her name, Tori Amos is one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation. A pioneer across multiple platforms, Tori Amos was the first major label artist to offer a single for download, has had her songs turned into graphic novels, and has produced pioneering videos throughout her career.

Amos first found fame as the frontwoman of 1980s synthpop group Y Kant Tori Read, but spearheaded a female singer-songwriter force in the 90s, and all those years of performance have led to Amos becoming one of the world’s best live acts: she was voted Rolling Stone’s fifth best touring act in 2003.

Luckily for us, she’s always giving us chances to catch her live, and wherever you live, there’s likely to be a Tori Amos show in the near future. Her Dew Drop Inn Tour in the mid-90s saw her putting on a massive 187 gigs. In 2014, she’s lined-up yet another tour - catch her in the UK in May!
